Folding bikes can be stored in much smaller places than a regular bike. If you don’t have a lot of storage space at home, they are the ideal solution. Many train companies won’t allow regular bikes on board during rush hour, so people will regularly use folding bikes as their commuter bike.

The design of folding bikes is such that you have all the options of a regular bike – gearing, sizing, racks, tyres, and so forth. The differences between the models comes down to how small they will fold up, how large the wheels are (smaller wheels will create a more compact bike).
